Federica Rizza was designated as Miss Earth Italy 2021 as she succeeded Miss Earth Italy 2020 Giulia Ragazzini to the title.
The 22-year-old is a professional model from Fromia. Talking about what she loves about her country, the queen says,” There are many situations starting from history that make me proud to be Italian, but I think this year it is important to speak on a sporting level. The extraordinary results of Italian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics have had a merit that goes beyond sporting successes. Successes, moreover, rightly underlined and celebrated by the media as well as by the institutions and by all the citizens of the country. Those medals had the positive effect of uniting Italy and, in this complex, painful and still difficult phase, both economically and as regards social aspects, the need for stimuli and symbols was enormously perceived in relation to the pandemic.
